NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Edited By Komal Miglani | Updated on Mar 31, 2025 01:36 AM IST

NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Maths Solutions chapter 5 covers Complex numbers and their applications. In our daily lives, we come across many concepts involving real and imaginary components, such as electrical circuits and signal processing. So, what is a complex number? A complex number is a number that has two parts: a real part and an imaginary part. It is written in the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part with i² = -1. Complex numbers are useful in solving equations that have no real solutions. We have been studying complex numbers over the years, with any ‘real number’ being said to be a complex number, which can be denoted as a variable or alphabet in simpler terms. The other number, along with the real number, is a part of the complex number, and is called the ‘imaginary number.’ Both of them appear together in a problem.

=(1+i)i(i131)(i1)
=(1+i)i(i1)(i1)
=(1+i)i
=i+i2
=i1

Question:3 If (1+i)(1i)3(1i)(1+i)3=x+iythen find (x, y).

Answer:

Given (1+i1i)3(1i1+i)3=x+iy
=(1+i1i)3(1i1+i)3
=(1+2i+i21i2)3(12i+i21i2)3
=(2i2)3(2i2)3
=i3(i3)
=2i3=02i
Thus,(x,y)=(0,2)

Question:4 If (1+i)2/(2i)=x+iy then find the value of x + y.

Answer:

x+iy=(1+i)2(2i)=(1+2i+i2)(2i)=2i(2i)

Onrationalising2i(2+i)/(2i)(2+i),

=(12i1)2z¯
=iz¯
Hence, Proved.

Question:8 Ifz=x+iy, then show that zz¯+2(z+z¯)+b=0 where b belongs to R, representing z in the complex plane as a circle.

Answer:

z=x+iy
z¯=xiy
Now,wealsohave,zz¯+2(z+z¯)+b=0
(x+iy)(xiy)+2(x+iy+xiy)+b=0
This equation is an equation of a circle.

Question:9 If the real part of (z¯+2)(z¯1) is 4, then show that the locus of the point representing z in the complex plane is a circle.

Answer:

Letz=x+iy
z¯+2z¯1=xiy+2xiy1
=[(x+2)iy][(x1)+iy][(x1)iy][(x1)+iy]
=(x1)(x+2)+y2+i[(x+2)y(x1)y](x1)2+y2
realpart=4(x1)(x+2)+y2(x1)2+y2=4
x2+x2+y2=4(x22x+1+y2)
3x2+3y29x+6=0

The equation obtained is that of a circle. Hence, the locus of z is a circle.

Question:10 Show that the complex number z, satisfying the condition arg(z1z+1)=π4 lies on a circle.

Answer:

Let z=x+iy
arg(z1z+1)=π4
arg(z1)arg(z+1)=π4
arg(x+iy1)arg(x+iy+1)=π4
arg(x1+iy)arg(x+1+iy)=π4
tan1yx1tan1yx+1=π4
tan1yx1yx+11+(yx1)(yx+1)=π4
tan1(y(x+1+x+1)x21+y2)=π4
tanπ4=2yx2+y21
x2+y21=2y
x2+y212y=0
The equation obtained represents the equation of a circle

Question:11 Solve that equation |z|=z+1+2i.

Answer:

|z|=z+1+2i
Substitutingz=x+iyweget|x+iy|=x+iy+1+2i
|z|=(x2+y2)=(x+1)+i(y+2)
Comparing real and imaginary parts (x2+y2)=(x+1)
And0=y+2,y=2
Substituting the value of y in(x2+y2)=(x+1)
x2+(2)2=(x+1)2
x2+4=x2+2x+1

Hence, x=32
Hence,z=x+iy
=322i

Question:12 If |z+1|=z+2(1+i), then find z

Answer:

We have |z+1|=z+2(1+i)
Substituting z=x+iy we get x+iy+1=x+iy+2i+1
|z|=(x2+y2)=(x+1)2+y2=(x+2)+i(y+2)
Comparing real and imaginary parts, (x+1)2+y2=(x+2)
and0=y+2;y=2
Substituting the value of y in (x+1)2+y2=(x+2)
(x+1)2+(2)2=(x+2)2
x2+2x+1+4=x2+4x+4
2x=1
Hence, x=12
Thus, z=x+iy=122i

Question:13 If arg(z1)=arg(z+3i), then find x – 1 : y. where z=x+iy

Answer:

Given that arg(z1)=arg(z+3i)
arg(x+iy1)=arg(x+iy+3i)
arg(x1+iy)=arg(x+i(y+3))
tan1yx1=tan1y+3x
yx1=y+3x
xy=xyy+3x3
3x3=y
x1y=13

Question:14 Show that |z2z3|=2 represents a circle. Find its centre and radius.

Answer:

|z2z3|=2 Substituting z=x+iy, we get |x+iy2x+iy3|=2
|x2+iy|=2|x3+iy|
(x2)2+y2=2((x3)2+y2
x24x+4+y2=4(x26x+9+y2)
3x2+3y220x+32=0
x2+y2203x+323=0
(x103)2+y2+3231009=0
Thus, the centre of circle is (103,0) and radius is 2/3

Question:15 If z1z+1 is a purely imaginary number(z1), then find the value of |z|.

Answer:

Let z=x+iy
z1z+1=x+iy1x+iy+1
[(x1)+iy][(x+1)iy][(x+1)+iy][(x+1)iy]
=(x1)(x+1)+y2+i[(x+1)y(x1)y](x+1)2+y2
z1z1 is purely imaginary
(x1)(x+1)+y2(x+1)2+y2=0
x21+y2=0
x2+y2=1 Hence, |z|=1

Question:16 z1 and z2 are two complex numbers such that |z1|=|z2| and arg(z1)+arg(z2)=π, then show that |z1|=|z2| .

Answer:

Let z1=|z1|(cosθ1+i sinθ1) and z2=|z2|(cosθ2+i sinθ2)
Given that |z1|=|z2|
And arg(z1)+arg(z2)=π

θ1+θ2=π

θ1=πθ2

z2=|z2|(cosθ2+i sinθ2)

z1=|z2|(cosθ2+isinθ2)

z1=|z2|(cosθ2isinθ2)

z1=|z2|(cosθ2isinθ2), |z1|=|z2|

Question:17 If |z1| = 1 (z1 ≠ –1) and z2=z11z1+1 then show that the real part of z2 is zero

Answer:

Let z1=x+iy |z1|=x2+y2=1
z2=z11z1+1=x+iy1x+iy+1
=[(x1)+iy][(x+1)iy][(x+1)+iy][(x+1)iy]
=(x1)(x+1)+y2+i[(x+1)y(x1)y](x+1)2+y2
x2+y21+2iy(x+1)2+y2=0
Since, x2+y2=1
11+2iy(x+1)2+y2=0+2iy(x+1)2+y2
Therefore, the real part of z2 is zero

Question:18 If z1, z2 and z3, z4 are two pairs of conjugate complex numbers, then find arg(z1z4)+arg(z2z3)

Answer:

z1 and z2 are conjugate complex numbers.
The negative side of the real axis =r1(cosθisinθ)
=r1(cos(θ1)+isin(θ1))
Similarly, z3=r2(cos(θ2)isin(θ2))
z4=r2(cos(θ2)+isin(θ2))
arg(z1z4)+arg(z2z3)=arg(z1)arg(z4)+arg(z2)arg(z3)??
=θ1(θ2)+(θ1)θ2=0

Question:19 If |z1|=|z2|=...=|zn|=1, then
Show that |z1+z2+z3+...+zn|=|1/z1+1/z2+...+1/zn|

Answer:

|z1|=|z2|=...=|zn|=1
|z1|2=|z2|2=...=|zn|2=1
z1z1¯=z2z2¯=...=znzn¯
z1=1z1¯,z2=1z2¯,...zn=1zn¯
Now, |z1+z2+z3+...zn| =|z1z1¯z1¯+z2z2¯z2¯+...+znzn¯zn¯|
=|1z1¯+1z2¯+...+1zn¯|
=|1z1+1z2+...+1zn|

Question:20 If for complex numbers z1 and z2, arg(z1)arg(z2)=0, then show that |z1z2|=|z1||z2|

Answer:

Let z1=|z1|(cosθ1+isinθ1) and z2=|z2|(cosθ2+isinθ2)
arg(z1)arg(z1)=0
θ1θ2=0
θ1=θ2
z1z2=(z1|cosθ1|z2|cosθ1)+i(z1|sinθ1|z2|sinθ1)
z1z2=(z1|cosθ1|z2|cosθ1)2+(z1|sinθ1|z2|sinθ1)2
=|z1|2+|z2|22|z1||z2|cos2θ12|z1||z2|sin2θ1
=|z1|2+|z2|22|z1||z2|
=(|z1||z2|)2=|z1||z2|

Question:21 Solve the system of equations Re(z2)=0,|z|=2.

Answer:

Re(z2)=0,|z|=2.
Letz=x+iy
|z|=x2+y2=2
x2+y2=4
z2=x2+2ixyy2
=(x2y2)+2ixy
Now,Re(z2)=0
x2y2=0
x2=y2=2
x=y=±2
Hence, z=x+iy=±2±i2
=2+i2,2i2,2+i2and2i2

Question:22 Find the complex number satisfying the equation z+2|(z+1)|+i=0.

Answer:

z+2|(z+1)|+i=0...(i)
Substituting z=x+iy we get x+iy+2|x+iy+1|+i=0
x+i(1+y)+2[(x+1)2+y2]=0
x+i(1+y)+2[(x2+2x+1+y2)]=0
1+y = 0
y = -1
x+2x2+2x+2=0
2x2+2x+2=x
2x2+4x+4=x2
x2+4x+4=0
(x+2)2=0
x=2
Hence,z=x+iy=2i

Question:23 Write the complex number z=1icosπ3+isinπ3 in polar form

Answer:

z=1icosπ3+isinπ3
=2[12i1/2]cosπ3+isinπ3
=2[cosπ4isinπ4]cosπ3+isinπ3
=2[cos(π4π3)+isin(π4π3)]
=2[cos(7π12)+isin(7π12)]
=2[cos(5π12)+isin(5π12)]

Question:24 If z and w are two complex numbers such that |zw|=1 and arg(z)arg(w)=π/2, then show that zw=i.

Answer:

Let z=|z|(cosθ1+isinθ1) and w=|w|(cosθ2+isinθ2)
|zw|=|z||w|=1
Also arg(z)arg(w)=π2
θ1θ2=π2
z¯w=|z|(cosθ1isinθ1)w
w=|w|(cosθ2+isinθ2)=1
z¯w=|z||w|(cos(θ1)+isin(θ1))(cosθ2+isinθ2)
z¯w=cos[(θ2θ1)+isin(θ2θ1)]
=[cos(π2)+isin(π2)]
=1[0i]=i

(vii) Let Z1 and Z2 be two complex numbers such that |z, + z2| = |z1 j + |z2|, then arg (z1 – z2) = 0.
(viii) 2 is not a complex number.

Answer:

(i) Comparison of two purely imaginary complex numbers is not possible. However, the two purely real complex numbers can be compared. So, it is false.

(ii) Let z=x+iy

z.i=(x+iy)i=xi=y which rotates at angle of 180. So, it is ‘false’.

(iii) Let z=x+iy

|z|+|z1|=x2+y2+(x1)2+y2

The value of |z|+|z1| is minimum when x=0,y=0i.e.,1

Hence, it is true.

iv) Let z=x+iy

Given that |z1|=|zi|

|x+iy1|=|x+iyi|

|(x1)+iy|=|x(1y)i|

(x1)2+y2=x2+(1y)2

(x1)2+y2=x2+(1y)2

x22x+1+y2=x2+1+y22y

2x+2y=0xy=0 which is a straight line slope=1

Now, the equation of the line through the point 1,0and 0,1

y0=1001(x1)

y=x+1 whose slope=-1

Multiplication of the slopes of two lines =-1*1=-1

So, they are perpendicular. Hence, it is true.

v)Let z=x+iy z0andRe(z)=0

Since, the real part is 0 x=0,z=0+iy=iy

1m(z2)=y2i2=y2which is real Hence, it is False.

vi) (z4)<|z2|

Let z=x+iy

|x+iy4|<|x+iy2|

|(x4)+iy|<|(x2)+iy|

(x4)2+y2<(x2)2+y2

(x4)2+y2<(x2)2+y2

(x4)2<(x2)

x2+168x<x2+44x

8x+4x<16+4

4x<12

x>3 Hence, it is true.

vii) Let z1=x1+iy1 and z2=x2+iy2

|z1+z2|=|z1|+|z2|

|x1+iy1+x2+iy2|=|(x1+iy1)+(x2+y2i)|

=(x1+x2)2+(y1+y2)2

=x12+y12+x22+y22

Squaring both sides, we get (x12+x22+2x1x2+y12+y22+2y1y2)

=x12+y12+x22+y22+2x12x22+x12y22+x22y12+y12y22

=2x1x2+2y1y2=x12x22+x12y22+x22y12+y12y22

=x1x2+y1y2=x12x22+x12y22+x22y12+y12y22

Again squaring on both sides we get x12x22+x12y22+2x1y1x2y2=x12x22+x12y22+x22y12+y12y222x1y1x2y2=x12y22+x22y12

x12y12+x22y122x1y1x2y2=0

(x1y2x2y1)2=0

x1y2x2y1=0

x1y2=x2y1

x1y1=x2y2

y1x1=y2x2

arg(z1)=arg(z2)=0 Hence, it is false.

(viii) Since every real number is a complex number. So, 2 is a complex number. Hence, it is false.

x2+(y+2)2=x2+(y2)2

(y+2)2=(y2)2

y2+4+4y=y2+44y

8y=0,y=0

which is the equation of the x-axis and is perpendicular to the line segment joining (0,-2)and (0,2)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the significance of Argand Plane in Class 11 Maths Chapter 5?

The Argand Plane is significant in Class 11 Maths Chapter 5 (Complex Numbers) as it provides a geometric representation of complex numbers. Each complex number z=x+iy is plotted as a point (x,y) in a 2D plane, where the horizontal axis represents the real part and the vertical axis represents the imaginary part. This visual approach helps understand complex number operations like addition, subtraction, modulus, and conjugation more intuitively.  

2. What are the conjugate and reciprocal of a complex number?

The conjugate of a complex number z=x+i y is \bar{z}=x-i y. It reflects the number across the real axis on the Argand Plane and is useful in division and simplification.

The reciprocal of z is given by:
\frac{1}{z}=\frac{\bar{z}}{|z|^2}=\frac{x-i y}{x^2+y^2}
This expression helps divide complex numbers by rationalizing the denominator using the conjugate.

3. What are the important topics covered in NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Maths Chapter 5?

Important topics covered in NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Maths Chapter 5 (Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations) include:

  • Algebra of complex numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)

  • Modulus and argument of complex numbers

  • Polar and exponential form

  • Geometrical representation on Argand Plane

  • Solving quadratic equations with complex roots

  • Use of identities and inequalities involving complex numbers

4. How to find the modulus and argument of a complex number?

To find the modulus and argument of a complex number z=x+i y :
- Modulus is the distance from the origin:

|z|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

- Argument is the angle θ made with the positive real axis:

\arg (z)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)
The modulus shows the length, and the argument shows the direction of the complex number on the Argand Plane.

5. What is the polar form of a complex number in NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Maths?

In NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Maths, the polar form of a complex number expresses z=x+i y in terms of its modulus r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} and argument \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right). It is written as:
z=r(\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)
This form is useful for multiplication, division, and finding powers/roots of complex numbers. It provides a clear geometric interpretation using the Argand Plane.
